TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Khadafy’s adopted daughter Hana, who was reportedly killed in a US air strike 25 years ago, worked as a doctor in a Tripoli hospital as recently as last week, Sky News reported Wednesday.

Gassem Baruni told Sky News that Hana was a surgeon at his Tripoli hospital — until she disappeared last Thursday.

“She has worked in the surgical department for more than a year,” Baruni said. “She admitted [she was Hana Khadafy] and there was security around here. We knew that she was Hana. We’ve seen photos of her with her father. So everybody knows here.”

He said Hana was pleasant but displayed a fierce loyalty to her father.

“As a doctor she’s very nice. She’s keen to learn, she works hard with the other colleagues,” he said. “But she still has the mentality of the Khadafy family. She hates the other side and doesn’t like the liberation people. She thinks that these people are against Libya, they are our enemies and we shouldn’t treat them as we should treat our soldiers.”

The US hit Khadafy’s Bab al Aziziya compound on April 14, 1986, in revenge for the bombing of the La Belle nightclub in Berlin by Libyan agents, in which two US servicemen were killed and 79 injured. Khadafy’s regime claimed his adopted infant daughter, Hana, was killed — the death was apparently confirmed by a US journalist — and it turned the reported death into a propaganda cause.

But the death has long been disputed by Libyans, and evidence that Hana survived mounted since the fall of Khadafy’s regime, including in photos and possessions found in the Bab al Aziziya compound.

Khadafy fled the capital last Friday, a bodyguard of his son Khamis said.

Several members of Khadafy’s family, including his wife Safiya, Aisha and sons Hannibal and Mohammed, crossed the border into Algeria. The whereabouts of Hana are unknown, and Khadafy himself is at large.
